 The use of tetracyclines, especially the MP antibiotic [[home:mp:minocycline|minocycline]], during tooth development (the second half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of eight years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow/gray/brown). The use of tetracyclines, especially the MP antibiotic [[home:mp:minocycline|minocycline]], during tooth development (the second half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of eight years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow/gray/brown).

 These recommendations apply to many dental procedures, including teeth cleaning and extractions.

-The American Heart Association [[http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-04/aha-mpd041907.php|press release]] explains the rationale behind the recommendations.

 If a dentist wants an MP patient to take an antibiotic prior to a procedure, the MP patient should ask the dentist if the MP antibiotics that the patient is currently taking would suffice. If a dentist wants an MP patient to take an antibiotic prior to a procedure, the MP patient should ask the dentist if the MP antibiotics that the patient is currently taking would suffice.

 MP patients should not take prophylactic [[home:mp:clindamycin|clindamycin]] unless they have taken it before with [[home:mp:olmesartan:response|olmesartan]] and know how they might react to it. MP patients should not take prophylactic [[home:mp:clindamycin|clindamycin]] unless they have taken it before with [[home:mp:olmesartan:response|olmesartan]] and know how they might react to it.
  
-Moxifloxacin (Avelox), a [[home:othertreatments:antibacterials:takingnonmpantibiotics|fluoroquinolone]], is safe to take with olmesartan – and, at least according to one study, may be more effective than other antibiotics traditionally used by dentists.(({{pubmed>long:16940094}})) MP patients should read the information on other [[home:othertreatments:antibacterials:takingnonmpantibiotics|non-MP antibiotics]] before agreeing to take anything else. An MP patient could also ask the dentist if the work can be postponed until the patient has progressed further on the MP. This will give teeth a chance to heal and avoid the need to stop the MP in the early stages when the patient is still learning to manage the MP medication or stabilizing symptoms. Also, when one's bacterial load is lower, an antibiotic challenge will be less of a threat.+Moxifloxacin (Avelox), a [[home:othertreatments:antibacterials:takingnonmpantibiotics|fluoroquinolone]], is safe to take with olmesartan – and, at least according to one study, may be more effective than other antibiotics traditionally used by dentists.(({{pmid>long:16940094}})) MP patients should read the information on other [[home:othertreatments:antibacterials:takingnonmpantibiotics|non-MP antibiotics]] before agreeing to take anything else.
